,StOcks-The business, of the stock ex-
change today was a little larger in vol
ume, due to the increased interest in one or
tive stocks. The general list displayed the
ness being the principal feature. London
was again buyer, principally of Lake
Shore, st. Paul and Readinv, which wore
the leaders 81. Paul, with the other gran
Chicago, but in the remainder Of the list
there was little or nothing doing. The COW
ering Of shorts was also INDUCED in
70 considerable extent during
the dealings was never more than firm and
the ear adsances were nearly noutralized
by the heaviness prevailing late in the day.
There was some telling of. Jersey Central
toward the clo.e and il declined nearly per
cent on very light transactions. 1he OPEN |
ing was nm at advances Of "a to "a over yes
terday's final figures. There was fair
amount of business in the first lew minutes,
but the market soon became dull and.sO re-
NAMED throughout the day. The general
list was firm and frf ctionsl advances were |
established, A period of stsgn alton ,ol-
lowed, and during the afternoon a general |
heavy tone was noticed. The market ion-
tinued devoid Of special feature and closed |
steady close to opening figures. The great |
majority Of the active list show fractional |
advances. Railroad bonds were quiet Sa es |
were 81 0S3, 900, and final prices show irregu-
lar changes of small fractions, though do |
clines are in the majority.
The total sales OF stocks today were 1885, |

HOME AND FARM.

Cows that have no bedding are
often injured in the knees by getting up
or down, especially if the floors be wet
and slippery.-Iroy Times.
Swine are populous in the United
States. According to Statistician Dodge
Of the Agricultural Department there
are about eighty swine to every one
hundred of our population, while in
Europe there only fifteen to each one
hundred persons.
"A New York Tribune writer says
that two ounces of saltpeter dissolved
in quart of warm water and thrown
into the cistern will remove the offen-
tive odor of the water.
Potato crust for meat pies is made
~ adding one teacupful of cream to
.ix large potatoes that have been boiled
and mashed fine. Add flour enough to
roll, and a little salt, and handle as lit
lie as possible. Cincinnati Times.
TO make quick corn bread: Take
two pints sour milk, two scant tea
spoonfuls soda, two teaspoonfuls salt,
two eggs, three and one-half pints
sifted meal. Mix we'll, pour into
creased pan and bake quick.-zoledo
Blade.
For biliousness the editor of the
Boston Medical and Surqic0l Journal
says plain diet Of bread, milk, oat-
meal, vegetables and fruit, with lean
meat and fresh fish, is best. Exercise
in the open air. The victim of an acute
attack will be erighted by Q) abstinence,
(2) porridgesand milk, (3) toast, lit
tie meat and fish and ripe fruit, thus
coming to solid food gradually.
Stuffed Potatoes: Choose some
large potatoes, peel them, cut small
piece off the top Of each, and scoop
them out carefully with knife and
fill them with sausage meat; replace the
top pieces. Grease baking-pan with
butter and lay the potatoes side by side
in it, with little lump of butter be.
tween each; bake them in hot oven.-
Good Housekeeping.
Velvet Pudding: Five eggs beaten
separately, one cup Of white sugar;
beat well together, then stir in four
tablespoonfuls of corn starch dissolved
in little sweet milk, let it come to boil
ing point, then stir in briskly the other
ingredients, then let it boil until it be-
comes quite thick, remove it from the
fire, pour into your baking dish. When
nearly done take the white Of eggs,
beaten to froth with one cup of sugar,
and pour over the top Of the pudding.
Boston Budget.
Under forcing system Of treat
ment the best hens in the world will
quickly play out. You may get large
number Of eggs within given time,
but the later layings will not give you
average good chickens when you come
to hatch such product. This result we
have proved beyond peradventure in
our past experience. Therefore, never
force to any considerable extent your
stock to lay an excessive or unnatural
number of eggs, as it is exhausting,
and will impair the vigor Of the prog
eny.-PrGi7te Farmer.

DR.. Brown-Sequard makes con-
tribution to the Societe de Biologie
which will be read with interest.
Every body catches cold more or less
often, and nobody wishes to do So;
hence Brown-Sequard's ''method"
ought to be popular. Under the name
of "cold' are included q number of
acute catarrhal inflammations affecting
the nasal, pharyngeal tracheal or bron-
chial mucous membrane. In this coun-
try we even apply the term to acute
affections of the middle ear, the eye, the
stomach, intestines or bladder. The
cause of these so-called "colds'' is the
influence of cold, damp air upon sensi-
tive portions of the body, producing
thereby a disturbance of the vascular
equilibrium. The result is conges-
ton which settles down, perhaps with
the help of microbes, as the late DR..
Austin Flint believed, into an inflam-
nation.
The most sensitive parts of the skin,
according to Dr.. Brown-Sequard, the
catarrhal genetic areas, are the neck
and the feet In order to prevent
"colds,'' therefore, one has only to
harden these areas and destroy their
sensitiveness. This is done by daily
blowing stream Of cool air, by
means of an elastic bag, upon the neck,
and by immersing the feet in cool
water. The air is at first only slightly
cool, but is each day made colder, un.
til the neck can stand an Arctic blast
with impunity. The feet are immersed
in water, which is at first at a tempera-
ture of about ninety degrees Fahren-
heit, and this is gradually reduced te
thirty-eight degrees Fahrenheit.
DR.. Brown-Sequard's method is only
a more rigid and elaborate form of a
well-known practice, viz, that of daily
bathing in cool wator. It will, no
doubt, be useful if the person is not
aged or weak. Such methods, how
ever, seem, after time, to lose their
efficacy. Medical RecorS.

"A Bangor Ice man says that they
never take horse on the ice without
tying rope around his neck, so that il
he gets into the water the rope may be
tightened and the animal choked. The
strangled horse at once puffs up and
rises to the surface, and is then usually
pulled out without much trouble, and
when he is well away from the hole the
moose is sloosened and he gets his wind
again. A few hours hard work gen.
